To make people aware of child labour, what happens to these
children, what companies use child labour and how they can help.

Why?

Child labour is taking children away from
their homes and families to work for as little as 0.63 cents to nothing. These
children have no education no time to play and getting hardly anything to eat.
If we keep buying certain products from companies that use child labour we are
supporting the problem when we should be preventing it.raise awareness of child labour the companies that support

The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness and show people how can help. Child labour
is all over the world and millions of children are affect with this. Many
companies support and use child labour to get supplies cheaper and make more of
a profit. Some of these companies include Victoria secret, Microsoft, Hershey’s
chocolate, and many more. Many of these children are forced to collect cocoa
beans, cotton and to make certain products in hazardous conditions.

Children that are being forced to work are losing years of
their life, over 150,000 slaves are under the age of 14, and 246 million of
them are under the age of 18. 70% of these children are working in hazardous
conditions, millions will never attend school nor have an education. They are
risking their lives and working long hours of the day for just a little shelter
and food.

53 per cent of children engaged in child labour are exposed
to serious hazardous conditions, including toxic chemicals, extreme
temperatures, isolation, denigration, violence, heavy machinery and repetitive
tasks that put strain on their small bodies. Children in child labour are
deprived of an education, many work every day to help their families survive.
They are trapped in the life of child labour. Child slaves often begin work at
a very young age usually around 5 years, meaning they miss out on basic human
rights such as an education, rest and leisure. This is a tragic existence, one
that no child deserves. Companies like Hershey’s chocolate are taking children
out of their family lives to work for as little as 0.63 cents to nothing,
thousands of children have been known to harvest cocoa beans in West Africa alone
today, all of these children have never eaten chocolate.

We are hoping these children will be paid a little more and
to be given a time to get an education, this may make products a little more
expensive but with all these children working with all the dangers they deserve
better. They deserve to be able to buy food get the education they need, basic
human rights and to be safe with their families.
